Which is better, Tenant Office or AppFolio?
It depends on what you are replacing. If you want one product covering marketing, leasing, accounting, and maintenance at portfolio scale, AppFolio is the broader system of record, and moving means giving that breadth up. If your recurring problem is maintenance work closing without evidence, or a month-end close you cannot reconstruct, Tenant Office is built for that accountability. Teams leaving spreadsheets and email should weigh the export cost against that difference.

How to get your data out of AppFolio
Export the reports you need one by one before access ends: rent roll, tenant ledger, property list, general ledger, and any agreed attachments or custom-field workbooks. Keep the source report names and export dates with the files.
AppFolio describes secure export functionality for reports and lists rent roll, general ledger, tenant ledger, and property data among its reporting and accounting workflows. Source: AppFolio documentation (read 2026-10-18)
The Tenant Office path
- Agree the records, dates, counts, and financial scope.
- Keep raw exports immutable and transform a copy with source identifiers.
- Preview, reconcile counts and exceptions, then apply the matching generic importer with assisted review.
Questions about switching
Can I connect AppFolio directly to Tenant Office?
The migration path described here is report export plus assisted import. Tenant Office does not claim a native AppFolio connector.
What should I export before switching from AppFolio?
Start with the portfolio inventory, residents and leases, open balances, owner terms, and open operational work. Confirm documents, custom fields, and history separately because report exports can need mapping or manual review.
